Master’s in Information Systems

In all organizations, regardless of their industry or size, technology is critical to creating maximum efficiency, fostering innovation, and providing a strategic edge. This technological imperative means that all managers, no matter their role, need to understand technology and its strategic role in order to succeed. The MS in Information Systems provides comprehensive coverage of both the technical knowledge and strategic know-how that are required for today’s analysts and managers who need to be able to speak to both the managerial and the technical teams in their organizations. Candidates are considered with a Bachelor’s degree with a major in any field; no prior technical experience is needed.
